Overcome

Dearest Little Granddaughter, We had a lot going on last weekend. We had people coming on Friday, people coming on Saturday, dinner dates, lunch dates. Your grandpa drove 8 hours to pick your mama up and take her to the Dr. appointment and bring her home for the weekend. I was at home making all kinds of food, decorating cookies, making cupcakes and more cookies. I had my phone near me, though, covered in flour, because it was a very important day for me. It was the day we were going to find out if you were a he or a she. Your mama texted me that the Dr. said clearly you are a little girl.  I was completely overcome with emotion, and I don't know why. Maybe because it was a bit of a roller coaster thinking first your parents wanted a boy, then we thought you were a girl, then the Dr. said she was unsure and you might be a boy, and then finally, finally, we find out you are a girl! I thought to myself "I am glad I am alone because everyone would think I am crazy, sitting in the living room all by myself crying my eyes out." It was at that moment that your mama called me and I think she wondered why in the world I was crying, and I wondered, too. She will probably understand some day. All I know is that I was overcome with emotion at the amazing, miraculous, wondrous thought of you! Sending my love and kisses to you, Mimsi
